Mid/pale blue 50's holdworth frame, 21" I think. dont think it's got any stickers on but does have a headbadge I think.
700c open pro on system ex large flange hub on the front
27" mavic somethingrareashensteeth again on system ex, think has a panaracer gumwall tyre onnit
sweepback raleigh bars with quite a nice vintage stem and cheapie chromed brake levers
vintage DA single pivot callipers
black saddle, slim, some padding, the one that everyone has, nice leather jobbie.
Eugh, am depressed. Please PM me if by some miracle you see it, not on here that much at the mo. Thanks all.
Sad morning! My very good pal Bigpaintbrush has had his beloved Paletti road bike taken from his hallway on Queensdown Road near Hackney Downs. Between 8 and 10 last night some selfish prick crowbarred his letter box, reached in, opened the door and took the bike from the rack on the wall. His best build ever and our much loved conduit for weekend rides. I'm gutted - he must be fucked! Still at least some lowlife theiving scum is 50 quid better off this morning eh? Keep your peepers peeled forum! Let us know if you see it.
The stats: Deep Red 62cm Paletti Lightning (columbus aelle tubing). Campag Recors Groupset except Athena seatpost and stem. Criterium Ergo bars. Gipiemme Techno 416 Wheelset. New Selle Flite saddle.
Underinsured, overloved, missed already!
**I live quite local to the area. If possible can you post a picture of the bikes in question. Will keep my eyes open.

theres some classic "locked" parts looking lonely on those railings..
What surprises me there especially is the way the bikes are locked.
